Located in a jobs‐ and transit‐rich area of Orange County, the proposed Santa Ana Arts Collective (SAAC) repurposes a 1968 commercial building into 58 units of affordable housing. It would also convert Bush Street, one block from SAAC, into a bike‐ and pedestrian‐enhanced street that provides a safer route to the Santa Ana Civic Center. The project caters to artists and families earning 30 percent to 60 percent of area median income.
